I was born in Brussels and grew up in a small village in Rhodes. I studied Geography in my second favourite island, Lesvos and have a great interest in geopolitics and demography. I have worked for 10 years as a geographer - cartographer and I have taken part in several municipal projects and state surveys. A very important project in my life was Rhodescape experiences and Rhodescape adventure park (2017 - 2022) at the lake of Apolakkia in south Rhodes. A vision, to create an adventure - ecological park at the village I grew up, became true! For the last 8 years I have a license by the Greek Tourism Organisation to offer daily excursions in our island with special activities and experiences. Through these excursions I try to offer my guests unforgettable days and convince them to come back for more days. All my tours are flexible, so that they can meet different preferences and can be adjusted according to traveler's needs. I am well aware that visitors seek to explore the beauty of a destination and make new friends there. Most tourist packages offer rather the "fast food" experience with no personal contact. I think that I can offer the services needed by a traveler rather than the typical tourist. Beautiful experiences - activities, authentic food and smiles are the key to become a group of friends at the end of the day with my guests. The love I have for my island and a passion to show people its beauty, as well as my need to communicate with people from all over the world, led me to a job perfectly suitable for me, which I enjoy doing everyday. I have a license by the Greek Tourism Organisation to offer daily excursions with activities. I have a degree in Geography and a Master's degree in Master in Geopolitics and Strategic Studies. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside the historical monuments.
